Your wiring looks ok to me. Did you run the joystick calibration from ssh?

You’re plugging in to the raspberry pi, rather than the saio board. Plug the micro usb in to the saio board connector and the hdmi lead in to the saio breakout board (or connect the lcd screen).

Thanks for the additions. The stick i will be using is from ps vita and needs the adapter board. Its very tiny, roughly the diameter of A and B buttons. I ordered black DSL buttons. They seem to be original and have a white plastic insert. Letters cant be removed. Thanks to you I know there are oth...

I tried to find an alternative to DSL buttons or at least get the measurements but had no luck, so those are DSL buttons - A,B,X,Y - nail polish remover took the lettering off in one rub! I just dropped the screen in, no tape or anything. I have kapton taped the back and sides to prevent shorts and ...

Yup, I snapped the Joy Con ribbon cable. To be fair I’d twisted and bent it multiple times when prototyping fitting it and the variations of my 3D printed bracket so I’m not surprised. Here’s what the insides look like if anyone needs to know:

Took a bit of forum searching to get the info for connecting a Joy Con stick. Thanks to Kite and Hivetyrant I got mine working. You’ll need a Joy Con stick, a 6-pin fpc 0.5mm adapter and the 4 wire connector from the Circuit Sword kit (assuming that’s what you’re connecting it to). As per Kites earl...

Just in case you were still willing to try, flip the ribbon upside down, it's in the wrong way. I made the same mistake and now it works great!

This guy knows his stuff - thanks @Hivetyrant

Already posted mine in Kite’s thread but here ya go https://i.imgur.com/yCUBfNS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QAj5JoD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eftAnyP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/q2gl4uX.jpg I like that the screen lens led works on yours - have I missed something there? And does it indicate when it’s charging?
